The event is part of a series of 12 regional workshops across the country organised in partnership with the Cabinet Office, the University of Hull, the University of Sheffield, Business in the Community and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

In 2015, the government proposed plans for workers to have the right to three days of paid volunteering leave, as part of an initiative to create more motivated workforces and increase community engagement.
